To be clear, I am not proclaiming the doom of the vita, but to have been out in America since February, and to not have sold 1 million units yet is honestly shocking to me. I was hoping for some off the wall ideas, and here are some of mine.
-Final Fantasy 7 HD
Why waste the sales of this on PS3? This thing would move millions of units and would be reason alone for me to go pick up a Vita. Sony needs to just start throwing money and devs at Square until they say yes.
-Crash Bandicoot Style advertising
Don't know how many of you are old enough to remember this, but a Crash Mascot went to Nintendo Headquarters and yelled random things at them from the street, basically painting the N64 as "for kids only" and the PS as the "cool" console. While this probably won't sway the older set, it may help take the teens and tweens attention.
-Bundle it as a subscription service device (a la iphone)
You could reduce the device cost by still wringing cash out of people by having them sign up for several years of a more premium version of PS+. This idea came to me before I fully understood what was included in PS+, don't know what you could add to justify a price increase to the service, since if you wanted to drop Vita to a $150 upfront cost with several years of PS+ you would probably need subscribers to pay more than $50 a year to make up the difference.
